Triggers in Johor water crisis


High and dry: Lack of water is causing the land at the Sungai Lebam dam in Kota Tinggi to be exposed and patchy.

While parts of Johor enjoyed rainfall in the past few weeks, there was no rain at the Sungai Layang dam in Pasir Gudang and Sungai Lebam dam in Kota Tinggi, said SAJ Holdings Sdn Bhd corporate communications head Jamaluddin Jamil.
